The New York Physical Therapy Association has pledged $125,000 toward the Foundation for Physical Therapy's Center of Excellence for Health Services/Health Policy Research.

The Center of Excellence will train the next generation of physical therapist investigators who will gain skills necessary to examine effective delivery, organization, financing, and analysis of outcomes.

"We are extremely pleased that the New York Physical Therapy Association has made this generous pledge to help support the largest grant in the Foundation's history," stated Foundation President William G. Boissonnault, PT, DPT, DHSc, FAPTA, FAAOMPT.

Six months into the yearlong fundraising campaign for this initiative, the Foundation has surpassed the half-way mark with more than $1.9 million raised toward the goal of $3 million.
